Haemopericardium as current complication following acute myocardial infarction - what does this mean
Haemopericardium is a rare complication that can occur following an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). it is caused by a rupture of the heart's pericardial sac, which leads to the accumulation of blood in the pericardial space. this can cause severe chest pain, shortness of breath, and even cardiac tamponade, a life-threatening condition that can cause cardiac arrest.
What happens during the disease - haemopericardium as current complication following acute myocardial infarction
Haemopericardium as a complication of acute myocardial infarction is caused by a rupture in the myocardium, which leads to the leakage of blood into the pericardial sac. this can occur due to the weakening of the myocardial wall due to the ischemia caused by the infarction, or due to the formation of a thrombus resulting from the infarction. this can lead to a rapid accumulation of blood in the pericardial sac, which can cause a decrease in cardiac output due to the pressure exerted on the heart. if left untreated, this can lead to cardiac tamponade and even death.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination
- Blood tests, including complete blood count (CBC) and coagulation studies
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess for arrhythmias, ischemia, and myocardial injury
- Echocardiography to assess for pericardial effusion
- Chest X-ray to assess for pericardial effusion
- CT scan to assess for pericardial effusion
- MRI scan to assess for pericardial effusion
- Cardiac catheterization to assess for the presence of a haemopericardium
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the complications of haemopericardium following acute myocardial infarction.
- Administer anticoagulants to reduce the risk of clotting.
- Provide oxygen therapy to improve cardiac output.
- Monitor blood pressure and heart rate.
- Perform a chest X-ray to assess the size of the haemopericardium.
- Perform an echocardiogram to assess the size and location of the haemopericardium.
- Perform a CT scan to assess the size and location of the haemopericardium.
- Perform surgery to remove the haemopericardium.
- Administer antibiotics to prevent infection.
- Provide supportive care to reduce symptoms.
20 Days of Hospitalization Required

Haemopericardium as current complication following acute myocardial infarction - Prevention
The best way to prevent haemopericardium as a complication following acute myocardial infarction is to reduce the risk of having a heart attack in the first place. this can be done by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and managing other risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes. additionally, it is important to seek medical attention if symptoms of a heart attack are present.
